Reagan has insisted on a line-by-line review of Stockman's proposals, asking questions when he is dubious, signifying agreement mostly by keeping silent.

New York City has vastly expanded the Kaufman Astoria Studios, where many silent films were shot in the '20s, and sound stages are being constructed all over the city.

Though Britain sees no possibility of a cutoff, it still wants no talk about any thing that could threaten the large quantities of Polish coal that it needs in order to help keep its power stations running this winter. And Moscow is highly sensitive to charges that it uses energy for blackmail. Embargo or no, the fact that the Soviets made the threat gives West European governments good reason to recall the Reagan...
